April 7, 1933: Washington, D.C. Today, it’s a reason for beer drinkers to celebrate, grounded in history…..On this
day in American history, sales of beer (and wine) became legal again (as long
as it was under 4% ABV; 3.2 alcohol by weight). National Beer Day celebrates
the return of beer into the public marketplace on April 7, 1933, following
passage of the Cullen-Harrison Act, signed into law by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt on March 22, 1933. The law went into effect on April 7, 1933, and it
allowed people in this country to legally buy, sell and drink beer again for the first time in
13 years following Prohibition! Can you imagine?

When FDR
signed that law, he proclaimed: “I think this would be a good time for a beer,”
the now-famous quote. Later that year, on December 5, 1933, Prohibition
officially ended, with the ratification of the 21st Amendment and Repeal of
Prohibition.So, raise a glass, bottle or can, and make a toast to FDR and beer today! (And, if you're an Untappd follower, there's a badge for that!)Cheers!Linda JohnsonCertified Cicerone®
